And that's why Bill Gates will personally install booby traps in EVERY X-Box that will go off if anybody tries to open it. That'll be his revenge against those Linux haxors.
Oh yeah? There was TI-TREK for the TI-994/A and it even had speech! Of course, the game sucked royally. imagine the photon torpedo slowly going by on the grid.
For the TI-994/A there was a pretty easy-to-use text adventure editor. It was based off the engine that was used to power the Scott Adams text adventure series. It had a cartridge, and you loaded up the game you wanted either on cassette or disk. I never got far with it though(lost interest).
Interestingly enough, there WAS a company that released "christian" games. It was for the NES, by a company named Wisdom Tree. Among one of the games was "sunday funday". Another used the DOOM engine for 3D Noah's Ark.
Can someone make a CueCat icon? I think it deserves its own topic heading now. That way, people can filter it out on their Slashdot prefs, and everyone's happy.
How pricey/out there is it to have a stereolithography scanner? What if you had the printer, but wanted to make duplicates of your just-made scanner or hard-to-find toys? I remember seeing a laser that moved around Robert Patrick's head in the making of T2.
I initially thought Mondo 2000 was cool, but upon further reading, I found it to be a confusing mass of BS. If some woman wore a toaster on her head, they'd make an article about it calling it the latest fashion. And I don't think an issue went by without mentioning Timothy Leary or The Well(which I am sick to death of hearing about) at least once. I haven't seen a new issue in years, and glad of it.
With this article and that super-confusing one 2 above, I'm wondering if it's Mondo 2000 day at Slashdot. Now all we need is another neo-hippie Timothy Leary article and we're set!
OOh, -1 penalty for not mentioning "The Well" or "Abbie Hoffman". C'mon, there's about 8 words here I have never seen before. Does ANYBDOY understand this? If so, please post a translation.

Where does it say Slashdot made the difference? I'm betting plenty of people bitched about it to make MS change their mind, not just Slashdot. You could credit Slashdot as professional "Bitch at Microsoft" consultants on a news story tho.

As for the 3-figure charges on everything DSL service, it was Covad. I went to Strictly Business and they had a booth there, so I talked with the real pretty lady to see if I was eligible. I wonder if I could charge THEM 100 bucks if the tech doesn't show up at the scheduled date. Hmmmmm. Well, I don't have to worry about them anymore.
In the half year I've had DSL with US west in the twin cities, I've only had ONE outage(2 weeks ago). I confirmed with tech support the area was down, and it was up in less than 8 hours.
As for DSL providers, I was originally told I didn't qualify by us west. I checked into another company(shoot, forgot my name), which said they did reach out into my area, but the pricing was horrible. 1 year commitment, HUGE up front fee. Any change to your service(up/down on your bandwidth) had a charge, miss the tech showing up to your place, you get charged.
ALL of these charges were in the 3-figure range, so I suspect they were catering to businesses.
Half a year later I sign up for US West's deal, now being qualified. I was up in running within a week of me calling. I haven't been dissatisified at all with them. Maybe I'm just lucky.
They even bumped up my bandwidth from 256 to 640 for free.
What about safe, unsnoopable FTP sessions? I'd like that when I'm constantly logging into an FTP site to upload a webcam pic(ChillCAM refuses to stay connected for some reason, which ticks me off)
I just hope the combined client doesn't have 9800 useless features(all with hotkeys) like on ICQ 2000. It's ridiculous. I don't care about birthdays on my buddy list
I thought the javascript thing was going to show you the difference between the male and female orgasm, in javascript(it shakes the screen around differently)

Amazing. Usually three-letter-domain .EDUs seem to have little to no bandwidth from my websurfing experiences.
I am assuming nuclear weapons secrets, etc will NOT be distributed/shared on here?

I would just like to say a forged digital signature in my name is NOT legal. So watch it! :)

They never got popular for some reason. heh.

Are you sure that's just not his license plate?
Uh, don't sex offenders have to be "registered"?

They're at war with the Extropians, who are from the planet Extropia.

I love it when the competitors of the company I work for fight aginst each other!(beats a partership) Mohaahah! "I love it when a plan comes together"
And this is how the TV show "Get Smart" was born.
I think on average I maxxed out at 25K, sec.

So is this the Jugs magazine centerfold for kernel hackers? "Look at the processors on THAT!"
